About Floating Cloud Hands

Floating Cloud Hands coordinates a weight shift, a torso turn, and two softly stacked arms. One palm faces down and the other faces up. Keep the feet planted while the hands and weight change sides together through a small, continuous arc.

What to focus on

Keep the wrists soft and leave space between the arms.
Let the torso turn accompany the hands instead of swinging the arms independently.

Make the movement smaller

Use a small side-to-side range. Learn the arm position first, then add the weight shift.

A mistake to watch for

Moving the hands quickly while the weight stays fixed. Slow the hands down until the whole pattern changes sides together.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Floating Cloud Hands. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
